“The Future is Now!”

In "The Future is Now!", the Challengers crash into 1994 Metropolis with time-traveling fugitive Darius Tiko, setting off a chain of events that brings them straight to the Daily Planet. With Tiko wielding a mysterious ring that creates a vacuum even Superman can't overcome, the team must rely on quick thinking and courage—especially when Ace confronts Tiko with a gun. Written by Karl Kesel and illustrated by Barry Kitson, with inks by Ray McCarthy, colors by Glenn Whitmore, and letters by Albert DeGuzman, this issue features a striking cover by Kitson and Kesel, capturing the moment just before the chaos unfolds.

While the Challengers transport Darius Tiko back through the time-stream, Tiko crashes the time cube in Metropolis and runs off. The Challengers realize it's 1994 and dash to the Daily Planet for more info. The Challengers meet Perry White and attack the elementals until Superman steps in. Tiko pulls a ring and creates a vacuum that even Superman can't buck. Ace circles and puts a gun to Tiko's head. The elementals wind down and the Challengers drag Tiko back into the time cube for 1958. Superman reflects on the non-superheroes' bravery as he flies over Prof Haley’s memorial.
